Steel Cables

by Brod Bagert

Overview

The love poems of our language tend to sing the fire of romance or the pain of lost love. These love poems are about something else. They begin with a little romance but quickly move to the stuff of permanent love – vows, rearing children, doubt, desire, the struggle to adjust to changing circumstances, reconciliation, and commitment as strong as "the steel cables they build bridges with". These poems are for you. They are intended to be read out loud. If you read them in the order they appear, they will tell you a story.

Editorial Reviews

These poems are about real love, a valentine wrapped in bands of steel with the tensile strength of eternity.

Taos Art Association - Judith Fritz

A collection of mature love poems, the kind of love that encompasses fatherhood and many years of marriage. They are honest love poems in which a young man can see his own future and having seen it, bid it come.
